# cliquey bastards?
Hello.

Has anyone else noticed that some pretty plain image posts get millions of replies saying how funny they are, and some get widely ignored even though they are hillarious? Would this be to do with more well known posters as opposed to genuinely funny pictures?

# no mate,
it means you don't get it.
And if you don't get it, go elsewhere.

# Opening your question
by asking if we're cliquey bastards isn't going to get you a sympathetic hearing.

# *i* was being light-hearted..
..and opening what I thought was a good discussion, which it seems like it was. I don't need anyone being aggressive like that. I'll cry.

# Yes, it can get a bit cliquey on here,
just like anywhere else where people hang about in large numbers.
B3ta has a distinct character, the people on here like certain things and don't like others. What we like gets applauded.
If that's too cliquey for you, try elsewhere. And don't be surprised if you get the same reaction to that question.

# it is the eternal question
I don't think there is any reaon why one person gets woo-ed more than the next although some people produce loads of stuff and therefore get more woos than others. If you like something and can be bothered woo it. If not don't.

that is all.


now play nicely

OK, troll over. I think I hear your Mum calling you.
Oh, wait, no. That's her screaming out *my* name. In ecstacy.
Sorry for the confusion.

# It's subjective
We gather here because we have a similar sense of humour I reckons. Kittens, not Carry-On. Bill Hicks, not Jim Davidson.

# yes. you are all hillarious.
see? it's all this 'we' stuff. I'm into all the Will Hicks stuff as well ya know. This is basically what I mean - there is stuff that *i* as an outsider think is funny but always gets ignored. i know for a fact that it is no less funny than anything else - hey man - i DIG it.. it just seems that you have to be part of the gang to get appreciated on here :(

# Hang out. Chill out. Play nice.
Then you are in what you call "the gang". If not, well, I agree with Dr.Phil.

Beside's this is a web "community". Like minded people come here. Thats all. There is nothing meant in it, its just the way people behave. Everyone sooner or later forms or joins what you call a "gang". There aint much any single person can do about it, so there is no use in complaining.
I heartily welcome you by the way

# If you like something, then
wooyay it. If you don't, don't. If people are ignoring it, it's because they don't find it funny, not because they're not part of some imaginary clique. I've always found this place very accommodating towards new talent.

And who the fuck is "Will Hicks"? Blasphemer!

# If you make
and post your funny pics then you are "part of the gang".

And what's wrong with "this we stuff"? It is a very friendly and welcoming board if you don't go around calling people cliquey bastards or twats.

I agree with you. People should only comment on posts in adherence with the International Draft Standards on Humor, newly revised for 2002. It's only fair.

so I would imagine it went in the bin. But I can tell you how Tomsk made it :) Take:

Black cardboard folder x 1
Sellotape

Open out folder, tape edges together.

# most kind of you.
especially since I've been reliably informed that I look drunk in every picture ever taken of me.
Why on Earth that should be the case, I can't imagine.

# same boat here...
however, the fact people think I look drunk in every picture taken of me, is that invariably I AM drunk.
